Few Slackers in New England.
Boston, Mass., June 6. Such figures
as were available today indicated that
there were few slackers in New Eng
land. The estimate of those bound by
the law to register was exceeded in
many places.
In Boston the registration was 75,
567, as against an estimate of 74,435.
Seventy-nine Massachusetts cities and
towns outside of Boston reported a

that the bonds are legal and declares
that he will take the matter to the

Action of some sort also was expect

San Francisco, June 6. Registra
